While I agree with brightman, I found it preferable to watch Destiny then SEED. I feel it flows better overall , and Destiny faults aren't as obvious in this order, since its mostly due to the returning cast mucking up the story.

What's the official way to pronounce GNX?

a) G N X

b) "Jinx" as mentioned by Bear in season 1.

It's a letter pun. You pronounce the sounds of G, N, and X which sounds just like Jinx.

Question:

Is there an OVA/Series/Movie/Manga that revolves around the perspective of Zeon soldiers during One-Year War?

Mobile Suit Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket, for the most part it revolves around Zeon soldiers during the war.

i am doing research and im trying to figure out the System of order in battalions durign the one year war.


Battalion
-- 0th Team (headquarters)
-- 1st Company
---- 1st Team
---- 2nd Team
---- 3rd Team
-- 2nd Company
---- 4th Team
---- 5th Team
---- 6th Team
-- 3rd Company
---- 7th Team
---- 8th Team
---- 9th Team

Ok, so how many total suites are attached to each part of the battalion? and how are the MS numbers detirmend, ive read before that Katsumi Kawaguchi made a system but i didnt get it first hand, nore did the information make sense to me.

"Jinx" is the official way to pronounce GN-X.

2) Where are Seravee, Cherudim and Arios manufactured?

1) Yes, after being almost obliterated by GN Missiles, he managed to use what's left of his GN-X to take Dynames's right arm, then he went kablooey.

2) Most probably in the Port. Since that's where the GN Series Gundams were developed.

AFAIK, ZZ doesn't have masked men(not that I've actually watched it), but Char should be the masked man in that series, and he doesn't appear at all.

And Kataron does have flags. You see them in the hangar.

Zeta (if you disregard Quattro's sunglasses), X and Turn-A.

Not so sure about ZZ.

Zeta: Quattro had sunglasses
X: 'Amuro-like' character had sunglasses (Jamil Neate that was his name, thanks Fizzmaister)
Turn-A: Harry Ord

ZZ didn't had a guy with sunglasses nor a mask character.

[fizzmaister]

Jamil Neate in X had big sunglasses.

1) Has a source ever said if it is possible for someone to simply quit being a member of Celestial Being or would that person need to be killed?
(Reason for asking: Tieria's threats to kill Setsuna in season one in order to protect CB's secrets)

2) Have any of the sidestory mangas for Gundam 00 been licensed for an English release?

Given the successes for CB in S1, I doubt anything had been compromised about the organization prior to Alejandro's betrayal. This by extrapolation probably shows that it won't be worth an individual's while to quit CB most of the time, either through benefits or threats, probably both.

Nope, none have been licensed AFAIK.

Does anyone know what those GN Particle fountains are in the desert in the beginning of the episode?

According to Random Curiosity's blog on the episode, the fountains were created by the Federation to cripple the economies of the non-member states in the region.

Umm....How?

Well the GN Particles make it so that the cities and nations are unable to communicate with each other. That way they either have to make business deals in person or become self-sufficient. Both of those methods would be quite difficult and somewhat impractical in futuristic society, especially the Middle East. Over time the nations would go into economic crisis unless they join the Fed.

[LightningZERO]

And the Federation (or is it A-LAWS?) put the GN Particle fountains in the name of preventing terrorists communications...
